Abstract

The invention provides a method for removing metal buried layer protrusions and a method for preparing an air gap. Wet etching with high surface tension is used for etching the metal buried layer protrusions. In order to avoid excess etching of an etching liquid to a dielectric layer in the air gap structure and a metal buried layer, a method for improving the surface tension of the etching liquid is used so that the etching liquid only remains on a substrate surface including the surface of the metal buried layer and is prevented from entering the a groove where the air gap is to be formed. Thus, the metal buried layer protrusions are successfully removed on the premise that the air gap structure is not damaged, thereby reducing the K value of the dielectric layer.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuit manufacturing, in particular to a method for removing protrusions of a buried metal layer and a method for preparing air gaps. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development and progress of integrated circuit technology, the critical dimensions of semiconductor manufacturing processes continue to shrink, and the cross-sectional area and distance between interconnections on the chip continue to decrease. The increased interconnection resistance R and parasitic capacitance C greatly increase the time constant RC of the interconnection. Therefore, the time constant RC of the interconnection line accounts for an increasing proportion of the total delay of the integrated circuit, which becomes the main reason for limiting the interconnection speed. Above 0.13um process, semiconductors usually use aluminum as the metal material for subsequent wiring. When entering the process...
